Happy March, crafty friends!
Are interested in finding creative, unique, engaging and useful craft ideas for the month of March? There are SO MANY interesting things you could be creating — and I couldn’t begin to even think of them all, let alone could I mention them all here in this brief blog post. However, I’ve been a craft blogger long enough to know the types of projects my typical readers often like to work on in the month of March. The following suggestions will point you in the direction of the most relevant March craft ideas you might want to look at right now. If you have other suggestions to add to this list, I invite you to post a comment at the end letting me and the other readers here know about them.
March Holiday Crafts
March Is National Craft Month
If you ask me, any month is a good month for doing craft projects. But for whatever reason, March has been designated as “National Craft Month,” so it’s an especially great time to get your crafting on.
St. Patrick’s Day Crafting in the Month of March
You can crochet and wear this pretty green beaded necklace for St. Patrick’s Day or any day.
I’m neither Catholic nor Irish, so I do not claim to be an expert on this March holiday or how to celebrate it. I shall defer to Wikipedia’s explanation in order to communicate the most important points about it. According to Wikipedia,
Saint Patrick’s Day, or the Feast of Saint Patrick (Irish: Lá Fhéile Pádraig, lit. ’the Day of the Festival of Patrick’), is a religious and cultural holiday held on 17 March, the traditional death date of Saint Patrick (c. 385 – c. 461), the foremost patron saint of Ireland.
This holiday is associated with shamrocks, green ribbon and green accessories.
If you want to make yourself some green accessories to wear for St. Patrick’s Day, I invite you to use any of these crochet accessory patterns. You can see one example of a green necklace pictured above. Most of my project samples aren’t green, but you could certainly use green yarns and other green materials to make your projects if you are so inclined.
